This is another delicious way to add turmeric to your diet. This is traditionally known as "Aloo Gobhi". This is the way my Mom always made it and after leaving home I tried making it several different ways but nothing beats the flavour that you grew up eating. The comfort, the nostalgia and the satisfaction is priceless.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Mustard Oil (you can use coconut oil too) 200 g (2 cups) Cauliflower florets

- Add salt, ginger and Serrano pepper to the wok, and mix with vegetables.
